Metaplanet Announces Superplanet Bitcoin Treasury Subsidiary
Japan-listed Metaplanet has announced a major expansion into the US, committing 2,100 BTC and $2.5 million in cash to acquire a controlling stake in Nasdaq-listed Super League Enterprise. Upon completion, the company will be renamed Superplanet to become a dedicated US Bitcoin treasury platform.
Metaplanet is expected to own approximately 95.7% of Superplanet’s common stock at $3 per share, shares of preferred stock and warrants. The Nasdaq-listed Superplanet will trade under the proposed ticker SUPA.
The operating business of Super League will remain intact, while Metaplanet provides balance-sheet support and capital-markets expertise. Metaplanet’s shares in the new entity will be locked for five years, and the company will designate five of nine directors.
CEO Simon Gerovich described the move as creating “two engines” for Bitcoin accumulation. Metaplanet will continue raising capital in Japan, while Superplanet taps U.S. markets, particularly through perpetual preferred shares.
He added that Bitcoin per share rises at Superplanet and Metaplanet when the new firm raises capital without adding common shares. The balance sheet and Bitcoin holdings will combine. The closing is expected in Q4 2026, subject to customary closing conditions, including Super League stockholder approval.
Since April, a small team inside Metaplanet has been working on something we could not talk about. Today it is public.
